Hello, my name is Joe, I am a teacher who lives in Medfield, MA but also spends a decent amount of time in Providence, RI. I like making and listening to music, and meditating. I am always open to new experiences and perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I previously lived in Boston where I lived at an experimental music performance space where we would have traveling musicians perform and stay over. I had heard that people could also travel and crash on couches this way as well.
